The Nikon D4: This DSLR camera makes the pros drool


Nikon
If you're wondering why there are strange puddles everywhere this morning, it's because photographers around the world have been drooling over news about the Nikon D4. Yes, you read that right — Nikon has finally officially announced its new flagship pro-level DSLR camera, the long-awaited successor to the D3. Inside the D4's magnesium alloy body, there's a 16.1MP FX format CMOS sensor, a 91,000 pixel 3D Matrix Metering system, support for an ISO range from 100-12,800 (expandable from 50-204,800), the ability to shoot 10 fps with full AF/AE (or 11 fps with AF locked), a place for CF or XQD memory cards, and everything it needs to spit out full 1080p video. 
Now all those numbers and specs are fine and dandy, but how good is Nikon's newest darling? Well, let's consider what the professionals think so far.
pro photographer Joe McNally explains that he has been involved in the discussion of the D4 for months — and even had the opportunity to shoot with one of the pre-production models recently. And boy, did he take advantage of the chance to give the camera a test drive! He took it through everything from the swamps of Florida to the studios of New York to the music scene in New Orleans.
And he seems to have loved it every step of the way.
